Birthdays

Climbing birthday parties are the icing on the cake.

At The Arc

Climbing Birthday Parties

Looking for a birthday party that’s active, exciting and seriously fun? Our climbing parties for up to 9 children (from 6 years and up) are designed to give kids an unforgettable experience – whether it’s their first time on the wall or they’re already little pros. Your session may include roped climbing and bouldering.

Led by friendly, experienced instructors, these sessions are full of climbing, games and laughter – a brilliant way to celebrate in a social and supportive setting.

Party room

Want to keep the party going? We have a special party space called The Loft which can be hired for food and post-climb celebrations. You’re welcome to bring your own cake or let us look after the food. This space is accessible by wheelchairs.

“The instructors were amazing – so friendly and encouraging with all the kids. Everything was really well organised and the children had the best time. We’ll definitely be back!” – Birthday party parent

Getting ready

What to wear?

Comfort is key – we recommend non-restrictive clothing like leggings, tracksuits or t-shirts, with comfy trainers or plimsolls. Please avoid anything too loose or baggy. Bring layers you can adjust as you warm up.

“My daughter had a party here today & the staff were excellent. We had quite a large (loud) group of children, mixed ages and abilities & the two women who assisted the children on the wall were absolutely brilliant with all of the children and made them feel welcome and safe. Us parents got to enjoy a hot coffee while they were climbing. The other guys patiently helped us sort out shoes and helped with all of our questions and requests as we were new to the venue. Professional friendly service. Can’t thank you enough we all had an excellent time.”
